Li Qiao finished the tasks he had promised to his classmates and came to the grove for another date with Qin Jin. They walked out unhurriedly only after the school bell rang.
She saw him off at the school gate, turned around to get her lunch box from the canteen, and after eating, continued working on the unfinished problems.
Before the evening self-study, Hu Xiufang rushed into the classroom out of breath.
Li Qiao said, "Did you get the fertilizer?"
"My eldest brother has already gone over. He said that the fertilizer station indeed received fertilizer this morning, and the price dropped to three jin and eight per pound. He considered buying it while the price was low but was hesitant because he didn't want me to think he'd broken his promise and get angry, so he didn't buy any. Fortunately, he didn't, otherwise we would have lost a lot, and I would have really hated him," Hu Xiufang explained, catching her breath.
